Big Slick for Seidel
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
It has been awhile since any noteworthy pots have developed. Recently, Jason Mercier raised to 16,000 from the cutoff and Erik Seidel shipped his stack of about 80,000 into the middle. Mercier wasn't excited but made the call nonetheless.

The 
flop was help to neither player, so Seidel's ace high was still best. The 
turn made no difference and the 
on the river helped Seidel improve to a pair of kings. He doubled to 176,000 while Mercier continued to slide, this time down to 475,000.
